Fresh off a terrible road trip (1-6), the Nats have to face Brandon Webb tonight.

So, how many hits will they manage to get?  Will we be shut out again?  At least when Manny Acta blames the lack of offense tonight on the other team’s pitching, we’ll know that, for just once, he means it.  

When the Nats traveled to AZ earlier this year, Webb pitched a shut-out game, all 9 innings, giving up only 6 hits.  He didn’t walk anybody and he struck out eight.  Webb, a 2008 All Star, is 12-4 with 3.43 ERA.

Should be a good night at the ballpark and a great beginning to another fun homestand.
